UAZ -374195 Operation Manual page 75

The front driving axle, operated with air gaps in the pins assemblies,
can lead to the premature failure of the upper pin liner.
When operating tighten the clamping bush of the lower pin as follows:
- unscrew nut 13;
- remove lining 12 and gasket 11;
- tighten bush 10 with a special wrench until the air gap disappears
(hit the threaded end of the pin with a copper hammer beforehand);
- tighten this bush by turning the wrench by 10-20° to obtain the pre-
load along the common axle shaft of the pins;
- install lining 12 and gasket 11;
- tighten nut 13 with the torque of 80–100 N · m (8–10 kgf · m).
ATTENTION! Exceeded tightening torque can lead to the decreased
pre-load and failure of the pin assembly.
The torque of ball strut 8 (or housing 1 of the steering knuckle, if
the ball struts have not been disconnected from the axle shaft housing)
shall be within the limits of 10–25 N•m (1.0–2.5 kgf•m) in any direction
relatively to the common axle shaft of the pins, considering removed
O-rings 5, 6 and joint 7 of the steering knuckle.
If the critical parameter is not reached, tighten the clamping bush
once again by turning the wrench by 10-20° and tighten nut 13 with the
specified torque.
If air gaps cannot be removed after the tightening of the threaded bush,
pins assemblies liners shall be replaced. Contact UAZ service station.
